An aircraft canopy is readied for simulated bird strike testing by, from left, Jon Storslee, 2nd Lt. Mark Retzloff, then-Air Force test director Tom Best and Butch Garrett at the Bird Impact Range at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, in 1982. The range, commonly referred to as the “Chicken Gun,” was used to simulate in-flight bird strikes to aircraft canopies and other materials by launching chicken carcasses at test articles. The first shot from the Chicken Gun was fired 50 years ago. (U.S. Air Force photo)
